Build 26528670

Update 1.78.0

Some updates are about fighting harder. This one is also about the time you spend in town and the kills you have already earned. Resting now pays you to stay put, your enemy kill count finally turns into something you can wear, and characters from the same town can share a PC.

New

Resting. Leave your character idle inside a town building (the warehouse, a shop, the blacksmith, the temple, the City Hall, the Command Hall, a guild hall or the Magic Tower) and it starts resting. It goes AFK on its own after 3 minutes, or right away when you type /afk. Every 4 hours of rest pays 1 Event Token, up to 2 a day per character; the day turns over at 00:00 UTC. Event Tokens from resting start at level 140, or at any level once you have been reborn. Rest 8 hours in a row, at any level, and a +25% EXP bonus is waiting for you: it lasts one hour, and the clock starts with the first monster that gives you experience. While you rest, your experience bar shimmers; hover over it to see your next token, today's tokens and your rest streak.

Hero's Cape effects and EK titles. Your lifetime enemy kills now pay off at five milestones: 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 EK. Each milestone earns a title named after it, and characters that already passed one get it on their next login. Each also unlocks an exclusive Hero's Cape effect, five per nation. William sells them at the City Hall under Hero Cape Effects, with a preview before you pay. Each one costs a tenth of its milestone from your EK balance, from 100 to 1,000 EK, and spending EK never lowers your lifetime count or takes a title away. An effect belongs to your character and shows on any Hero's Cape you wear.

Several characters from one PC. You can now play several characters from the same PC, up to three at a time, as long as they all belong to the same town.

Changed

• New prices. Event Officer: Zemstone of Rebirth 20 tokens, Stone of Merien 10, Stone of Xelima 12. Coin Shop: Zemstone of Rebirth x7 for 10 coins, Sex Change Potion 8, Armor Sex Changer 25.
• Server rules: during official town events (Apocalypse, Crusade, Heldenian, Capture the Relic and similar), you take part only with characters from the same town as your main. Rule 6.6 on the website has the details.
• The experience readout now says "Exp left".

Improved

• Dyes with a design and Hero's Cape effects now show on every Texture Quality setting, not just High.
• The logout countdown now always shows on screen, even with "Other" unchecked in the chat history filter.
• The armor tooltip now includes the Adamant, Fortification and Balanced bonuses in its Physical Absorption and Defense Ratio totals.

Fixed

• In Turns loot mode, the rotation now goes person by person: players joining the party or walking up to the fight no longer hand the same member several drops in a row.

This update includes a one-time download of about 7.6 GB of game art, and on the first launch the game checks its files for a short while before you can log in.
